about

If you turn your ears a certain way, You Make Me Feel (May 8, Fat Possum) by soul great Don Bryant can be heard as a love letter to his wife of 50 years, Ann Peebles. That killer horn riff that kicks off the album? Think of it as a fanfare preceding the reading of a royal decree; or maybe it’s a funky version of a wedding march. Written by Bryant and producer Scott Bomar, “Your Love Is to Blame” has the chorus of a good blues song: "Nothing in my life is the same/Your love is to blame.” But here, “blame” gets a halo. “I tried to turn this one around,” Don says with a slight grin. Then he explains, “Your love is to blame because we are together!”

lyrics

You make me feel
like a man wants to feel
when he’s getting all the love he can bear
I don’t have to look no further
just knowing you will always be there

Nothing in my life is the same
Your love is to blame

You give me love instead of promises
You give me truth instead of lies
You give me light when there is darkness
You give me sunshine instead of cloudy skies

Nothing in my life is the same
Your love is to blame

I never ever knew
that love could be
As precious as the love you’ve given me
I’m so glad that I found you girl
Don’t you ever set me free

You give me joy instead of sadness
You give me sunshine instead of rain
There is so much peace in my valley
and it’s hard for me to explain

Nothing in my life is the same
Your love is to blame

Without your love
I don’t know where I’d be
I’m so glad that you’re a part of me
Your love is to blame

Don Bryant Memphis, Tennessee

From the opening vamps of the classic “A Nickel And A Nail,” it’s evident that Don Bryant, at 74 years old, is in prime fighting shape and as versatile a performer as ever. These ten songs — including seven Bryant-penned originals — show a soul survivor in action, exhibiting the kind of sharp vocal acumen that can only be honed by years spent on the road and in the studio. ... more
